As Daily Wire noted, Warren was talking to CNN’s Anderson Cooper about the government shutdown:

“Do you ever think, look, the realistic end game is that Republicans get two thirds of what they want and the Democrats have to settle for the shorter straw?” Cooper asked. “Is that how the balance of power really works?”

Warren’s reply was problematic, to say the least.

“Well, let’s talk about the balance of power,” Warren responded. “There are two coequal branches of government, the president of the United States and the Congress.

Wait… what?

She said, “There are two coequal branches of government, the president of the United States and the Congress”???

Uh, no, Senator Warren. There are three co-equal branches of government.

The Executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch.

Take a look:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) doesn't know how many branches of government exist: "There are two co-equal branches of government, the president of the United States and the Congress"
